strcasecmp, strncasecmp - compare two strings ignoring case
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include

int strncasecmp(const char *__''s1''__, const char *__''s2''__, size_t__ ''n''__);
__
!!DESCRIPTION


The __strcasecmp()__ function compares the two strings
''s1'' and ''s2'', ignoring the case of the
characters. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or
greater than zero if ''s1'' is found, respectively, to be
less than, to match, or be greater than
''s2''.


The __strncasecmp()__ function is similar, except it only
compares the first ''n'' characters of
''s1''.
!!RETURN VALUE


The __strcasecmp()__ and __strncasecmp()__ functions
return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero
if ''s1'' (or the first ''n'' bytes thereof) is found,
respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than
''s2''.
